Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 630
“I’m still sober. Another couple of drinks won’t make me drunk.”
“You should quit while you’re at it.
“We came here to have a drink or two. Too much is not good for you.”
Serenity stared at her eerily.
Jasmine fell silent for a moment before getting up to leave. She reminded her brother to watch Serenity.
A while later, Jasmine returned with a pen, papers, and a glass of wine in hand.
“This is your last drink. I asked for a few sheets of paper for you to draw on.”
“Jas, Serenity’s drunk. Can she still draw?”
Serenity claimed that she was sober but the truth was, she was drunk.
Instead of answering his brother’s question, Jasmine handed the pen and papers to Serenity. Serenity took the stuff and started
drawing on the paper without taking the drink.
First, she drew a ball.
Drake was speechless.
It was not hard to draw a circle in a drunken state. Drake believed it was a no-brainer.
Serenity then drew a lake with way too many wavy lines along the shore. Following that, she portrayed a -person standing before
the lake.
Drake watched with amazement.
“Does Serenity like to draw after she gets drunk, Jas?”
Jasmine nodded her head. “Give her a pen and paper when she wants to rant but can’t. She’ll let it all out through her doodles.”
Drake was lost for words.

Some people were plain weird.
It was a good thing Jasmine knew Serenity well because Drake would not be able to figure her out.
Serenity put a lot of thought into drawing the silhouette of a person.
Jasmine did not need to get close to guess Serenity was drawing Zachary.
Drawn by curiosity, Drake watched as Serenity doodled on the paper.
Serenity portrayed the upper half of Zachary’s body on the paper. Once she was done, she took a look and added a heart to his
chest. Nevertheless, she penciled the heart rather tiny.
Putting down the pen, she grabbed her untouched wine and admired her artwork while sipping it.
Serenity believed she brought the character to life as she was not usually good at portraits.
Picking the paper up for a look, Jasmine praised, “You’ve reached a breakthrough at drawing portraits, Seren. The drawing is
very lifelike. You brought out Mr. York’s callous eyes and deadpan face. It’s like I’m looking at a photograph.”
She knew that her best friend was able to breathe life into a portrait of Zachary because Serenity had

fallen in love with him.
“Jas, did Serenity draw a river or a lake? What’s with the wavy lines?”
Tilting her head, Jasmine looked at her brother. “Are you blind? Can’t you tell whether it’s a river or a lake? “Serenity portrayed
everything well, but you can’t tell the difference. You should cut down your time on computer games. They’re not good for your
eyes. Get Mom to buy you supplements.”
Drake grabbed the drawing from his sister and mumbled, “It’s too small for a lake and too short to be a river. I really can’t tell
whether it’s a river or a lake.”.
“Look at the ripple-like lines against the shore. What happens when you have water and dirt? What does it become?”
“You’ll get soil with a slimy texture.”

“That’s right, slime.”
“So the ball... Slimeball?”
Drake lifted his head and stared at Serenity. The latter was busy drinking her wine while Jasmine kept to herself.
He looked at Zachary’s portrait, finally getting the message hidden within. However, Drake wondered who the man was.
Serenity-called the man a slimeball.
